Waters TQ Detector User Manual

1-4 Waters TQ Detector
IntelliStart technology
IntelliStart™ technology monitors LC/MS/MS performance and reports when
the instrument is ready for use.
The software automatically tunes and mass calibrates the instrument and
displays performance readbacks. Integrated with Empower™
chromatography software, MassLynx™ mass spectrometry software, and
ACQUITY UPLC
®
Console software, it enables simplified setup of the system
for use in routine analytical and open access applications. (See “Software and
data system” on page 1-5).
The IntelliStart Fluidics system is built into the instrument. It delivers
sample directly to the MS probe from the LC column or from two integral
reservoirs. The integral reservoirs can also deliver sample through direct or
combined infusion so that you can optimize instrument performance at
analytical flow rates. See the instrument’s online Help for further details of
IntelliStart.
ACQUITY TQD UPLC/MS system
The ACQUITY TQD UPLC/MS system includes an ACQUITY UPLC system
and the Waters TQ Detector.
If you are not using your instrument as part of an ACQUITY UPLC system,
refer to the documentation for your LC system.
ACQUITY UPLC system
The ACQUITY UPLC system includes a binary solvent manager, sample
manager, column heater, optional sample organizer, optional detectors, and
an ACQUITY UPLC column. WatersEmpower™ chromatography software or
MassLynx mass spectrometry software controls the system.
For further instruction, see the ACQUITY UPLC System Operator’s Guide or
Controlling Contamination in LC/MS Systems (part number 715001307). You
